If you’re fantasizing about building your own tiny home, the reality is that it may be more difficult than you think. In many municipalities, bylaws restrict building these micro structures — and then there’s the whole issue of actually living in a space that’s not much bigger than a tent.

The good news is that if you want to live out your dream — if only for a weekend — there are plenty of tiny house rentals across Canada. Here are eight of our favourites.

A wooded getaway in New Brunswick

Steve and Jenn Cooper needed a place to live while they turned their 1940s-era home into a modern homestead. Enter the tiny home. At just 8.5-feet-wide and 21-feet-long, this tiny home is focused on sustainability, with a fully equipped kitchen and ensuite bathroom. Completely private and hidden in the woods, it’s located just 30 minutes outside of Fredericton. From $80/night.

A tiny home on a big farm

Overlooking a 200-year-old peach orchard, this tiny house is located on a Niagara, Ontario winery run by ninth-generation farmers. Translation? Wine tastings are just stumbling distance away and fresh fruit is yours for the taking. Decorated by local artisans, the space is also dog and cat-friendly. From $150/night.

The micro-cabin in Roberts Creek

The title of the highest-rated Airbnb listing on British Columbia’s Sunshine Coast belongs to this micro cabin in Roberts Creek. Located on a homestead property that was originally owned by the area’s first schoolteacher in 1926, the beautifully lit rental claims to have the world’s comfiest bed. Our favourite feature, though, is the built-in yoga and reading loft. From $75/night.

The tiny house in Roberts Creek

Newly opened and ready for business, this little rental is poised to grab the micro-cabin’s title of one of the Sunshine Coast’s best Airbnbs. Located among the giant cedars of Roberts Creek Provincial Park, this 170-square-foot home seems might bigger than its diminutive size owing to plenty windows and ample outdoor space. Antique French doors give way to a lofted space, propane cooktop, and a wet room with a flush toilet. From $85/night.

A palatial getaway on B.C.’s Salt Spring Island

The West Coast’s mild winters make it an ideal spot to build a tiny house, which is why Westover Bed & Breakfast is a perfect year-round vacation getaway. Nicknamed “The Palace,” the brightly coloured sanctuary is a bit bigger than your average tiny house; outbuildings include a separate composting toilet and an outdoor clawfoot tub. There’s no kitchen, but a full breakfast is included with your stay. From $123/night.

A tiny home that’s “just right” in Quebec’s Maelstrom Mountains

Is le Lagöm (a Swedish word that roughly translates to “just right”) truly a “tiny house”? It’s nearly 400-square-feet, which makes it a “small house” by definition. But who cares? It’s too gorgeous to get caught up in the rules. Only 20 minutes from Quebec City, yet totally immersed in nature, you can take in the mountain and river views from floor-to-ceiling wraparound windows. “Lagom” may have beat out “hygge” for the hype word-of-the-moment, but this cabin manages to embody both. From $250/night.

A tiny house set seaside in Nova Scotia

The ocean views from the loft bedroom are what really sets Port Hood’s “Bothan Beag” house above the rest. However, it’s got lots of other great features to love: direct access to the beach below, solar power, a built-in cooktop, a three-piece bathroom, and a very comfy couch. It’s so well-equipped and laid-out that you’ll be left wondering why you don’t live in a tiny house full-time. From $155/night.

The best view in the trendiest place

It took engineer Jon Soehl about 100 hours to design and draw the Bonavista tiny house. Now, it serves as the flagship model for his tiny house business, Driftwood Dwellings. Uniquely Newfoundland in design, it features colourful clapboard siding and a prime location in Port Rexton, one of the province’s must-visit hot spots. From $145/night.

A cozy cabin in the Cape Breton wilderness

Built from locally milled spruce and pine, this little cabin is a slice of Canadiana set in the wilderness just off the Cabot Trail. It’s not for everyone — there’s no running water and you’ll have to walk outdoors to use the toilet. But if you’re content with just the basic necessities, the wood-burning stove will keep you snug in the loft bedroom. From $80/night.
